The second-before-last episode of the reality series, which airs Sunday at 10 p.m. EST, was taped during Sept. 11's 10th anniversary, and the footage captures mixed feelings from participants: according to The Associated Press, Mike Jaafar, a Dearborn deputy sheriff, cried while recalling police officers' deaths in the attacks on the World Trade Center; Nawal Auode, who was in high school when 9/11 happened, said she bristles at the anniversary because it forces Muslim Americans to defend themselves for something they didn't do; another woman, Nina Bazzy, expressed outrage against Osama Bin Laden. "He ruined it for us," she said. "He ruined it for our kids. He made us scared in our own homes."
